The Mesozoic period began about 250 million years ago when the Permian-Triassic extinction occurred, probably by a combination of gradual atmosphere change and some external event like an Earth impact. The period ended about 66 million years ago with another great extinction, this one probably a combination of an impact and volcanic activity.
What else can I help you with?
The end of the Permian period was also the end of what Era?
The permian period was the end of the paleozoic era.
What type of reptile did not survive the mass extinction event at the end of the mesozoic era?
The non-avian dinosaurs did not survive the mass extinction event at the end of the Mesozoic era, known as the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event. These reptiles went extinct, paving the way for the rise of mammals and birds.
What geologic era is known as the age of mammals and when did this era begin?
The Cenozoic Era. This began 65.5 million years ago.
How did the meteorite collision at the end of the Mesozoic affected the atmosphere and the biosphere?
The meteorite collision at the end of the Mesozoic era led to widespread fires, dust, and debris in the atmosphere, resulting in a significant temperature drop and altered sunlight reaching the Earth's surface. This caused a mass extinction event, including the extinction of the dinosaurs and about 75% of all species, leading to significant changes in the Earth's biosphere and ecosystem dynamics.
Overall how does the climate of the Cenozoic era compare to the climate near the end of the Mesozoic era?
The climate of the Cenozoic era was generally cooler and more variable compared to the relatively warm and stable climate of the Mesozoic era. The Cenozoic era experienced significant fluctuations in temperature, including periods of glaciation, whereas the Mesozoic era was characterized by a more uniform greenhouse climate.
Which eras ended with a mass extinction?
Two major eras that ended with mass extinctions are the Permian-Triassic extinction event, which marked the end of the Permian period, and the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, which marked the end of the Cretaceous period. These events had profound impacts on life on Earth, leading to the loss of a significant number of species.
When did Mesozoic era begin and end?
The Mesozoic era began roughly 250 million years ago, and ended 65 million years ago. (This Era ended because of the K.T. extinction)
At which point in the sequence of events does The War of the Worlds begin?
(Apex) The end, recounting events that happened in the past.

What does the end of the paleozoic and the mesozoic have in common?
Mass extinction
When the chicxulub crater formed?
End of the Mesozoic era
What dinosaurs lived in Mesozoic era?
The first dinosaurs evolved in the Mesozoic. At the end of the Mesozoic, all non avian dinosaurs became extinct. Therefor, all non avian dinosaurs, and some avian dinosaurs (birds), lived in the Mesozoic.
What happened at the end of the mesozoic era but not at the end of the Paleozoic era?
There were major asteroid impacts.
Dinosaurs went extinct at the end of what era?
Mesozoic era
Do humans evolved in the Eocene period?
No. The dinosaurs rose in the Mesozoic era. The end of the Mesozoic era was also the end of the dinosaurs. The era following is the Cenozoic, which we are still in today.
How does the end of the Cenozoic era compare to the climate near the end of the Mesozoic era?
it is cooler {apex}
